After PSN, Hearthstone, League of Legends and Path of Exile, hackers have turned their attention to Microsoft's Xbox Live service. Continuing a distributed denial of service attack (DDOS) against the service, Microsoft's servers are having a hard time mitigating the problem. The end result is difficulty logging in, joining parties, and connecting to other players games.

While Microsoft have resolved some of the issues, a consistent experience still isn't found. Several users on Twitter are still reporting problems this morning and even Microsoft itself is saying some issues still persist.
